Hi, Visual Studio gets a lucky escape since it's not using 
vcvarsall.bat, that .bat file is meant to be run by parties outside of 
Visual Studio, like a CMD prompt, Qt Creator etc.

One workaround is to shortcut the broken mechanism, by editing 
vcvarsall.bat (it's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build) and adding a hardcoded set 
statement, like this:
"set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.28.29910\ATLMFC\include;C:\Program 
Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.28.29910\include;C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.19041.0\ucrt;C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.19041.0\shared;C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.19041.0\um;C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.19041.0\winrt;C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Windows Kits\10\include\10.0.19041.0\cppwinrt"

Normally the INCLUDE variable is built by calling vsdecvmd.bat in a goto 
loop, but if you add that hardcoded "set INCLUDE..." after the loop it 
should yield the same result for Qt Creator. The drawback is that you 
have to edit that set statement every time you upgrade your Visual 
Studio :-(
